arch/alpha/include/cmpxchg.h:
#define arch_cmpxchg(ptr, o, n)                                         \
({                                                                      \
        __typeof__(*(ptr)) __ret;                                       \
        __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o);                                   \
        __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n);                                   \
        smp_mb();                                                       \
        __ret = (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr),                   \
                (unsigned long)_o_, (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr)));\
        smp_mb();                                                       \
        __ret;                                                          \
})

Are those smp_mb() in there enough?

I'm probably missing your point, though - what mix of cmpxchg and
smp_store_release on 8bit values?
